Abstract

An electronic device includes a light emitting module having a light source module, a back frame configured to support the light source module, at least one stretch release adhesive tape, and a circuit substrate. The back frame has at least one through hole. The at least one stretch release adhesive tape is divided into a first section and a second section along an extending direction, and passes through the at least one through hole to be folded, such that the first section and the second section are respectively located on different sides of the at least one through hole and attached on different surfaces of the back frame facing different directions. At least a portion of the first section adheres and bonds the light source module and the back frame, and at least a portion of the second section adheres and bonds the back frame and the circuit substrate.
